No not for S&M....(I could not resist....)But seriously if your main bearing well is flat bored then the ball is walking along that entire surface so the contact point on the thrust piece is all over the place.
The captive mechanism is to center the ball on the main bearing thrust surface.

LOL, just kidding, I love being a Dad. But seriously, wouldn't the main spindle shaft keep everything centered since it fits in the well pretty snugly? Still, another good reason to get the right size ball (from Boca ). I'm still chagrined about forgetting that the Thorens would be metric...*sigh*

How is the appearance of the thrust surface of the Thorens? You might want to polish this piece if it is simply machined.Here is a picture of my thrust surface....oops that would put me in jail...my bearings thrust surface.....
Mine is just machined -- how could I polish it?
I'm getting a thrust plate from Joel Boutreux to go under the ball, since my bearing well is a td-160, which was designed for a conical bearing.
